I think I've finally cracked English royalism. If you cast your mind back a few centuries when everyone was religious, the thing to understand is that royalism isn't a belief in absolute power over England (and it was England back then) as the highest power. Royalism was a belief in God having absolute power to rule over the English people, with his rule carried out through his representative on Earth, the monarch. If a pretender to the throne could convince the population that the Monarch was failing in this duty, then they could persuade the population to back them into supporting their overthrow of the Monarch. And so nothing could get in the way of God's rule. Not some hypothetical European union, nothing. If someone had to lie to the Monarch to ensure God's undiluted rule was carried out, they would. If they could convince the population of this, then they would support his or her lying to the Monarch to ensure that God's undiluted rule over the population could be carried out.

fuck monarchy

God save the queen

The other day I was sitting around and scheming out loud about how we could get Meghan the crown, but my wife just rolled her eyes and said it wasn't possible. I guess I just don't understand the monarchy.

well it's possible for her to be queen consort, but you'd have to kill a lot of people that even the ira weren't able to get to

If Harry became king, she would be the queen (not the ruling monarch). But you would have to kill the queen, Charles, William, George, Charlotte and Louis first.

So then in that scenario, if Harry goes, then she's in?

can you bomb the whale?

Don't be reidiculous.

No. She will never be the ruling monarch. But her kid would be. She would be the mother of the king.

Well I thought it was a given that in this scenario the kid would need to be dealt with too.

Then she would be fully out. The ruling monarch would be Prince Andrew (Epstein’s friend).

Either way, you can’t be the monarch if you’re not a blood relative of the previous monarch.

If Meghan was out to rule, and kill anyone that stood in her way, her best chance would be through controlling her kid.

There's got to be a way that we can get her the undisputed crown.

Kill them all and have her establish a fresh dynasty?

Fuck that. Don't put an asterisk on her crown. I want to see her find her rightful place on the throne in this current line of monarchs.

there is no rightful place for monarchs though

There is. It's in your heart.

Modern European monarchs are usually far more popular than whatever prime minister is in charge. And most people here despise Trump.

“You have selected regicide. If you know the name of the king or queen being murdered, press 1”
